Remarkable Restaurant
Beautiful plates, elegant napkins, matching knives, bright yellow butter from a farm in the Côtes-d’Armor, bread with character… There’s no room for half-measures in this comfortable, bright restaurant, which is exemplary in its consistency. Everything here is meticulously attended to. Regulars are legion. Some have clearly become friends. Frédérique Hénaff oversees the dining room with energy and empathy, assisted by a small, close-knit team. The atmosphere is light and tranquil. In the kitchen, Lionel is at the top of his game. His highly personal cuisine stands out—beyond mere technique—for the plant-based inspiration that has always driven him. Vegetables and fruits, herbs and plants form the backbone of his menu, where they showcase local ingredients to their fullest. Caught off the coast of Penmarc’h, the superb bluefin tuna is served with blueberries, black garlic, beets, feta, and fig oil… The dish is precise and well-balanced. Paimpol beans paired with artichokes (Camus and Poivrade varieties) are enhanced by green tomato juice and a broth with citrus notes. As for the beef from an Angers-based ranch, it’s served as a short rib drizzled with a rich, licorice-infused Béarnaise sauce. Braised Sucrine lettuce rounds out the meal. The same harmony continues for dessert with strawberries artfully paired with chili pepper, basil, arugula, and puffed rice… An excellent wine list.
